  Reed Blankenship thought he had lost much more than the rest of his junior season when he suffered a broken left leg during a Conference USA showdown at North Texas six games into the football season last October. The all-conference safety and captain thought he had lost his voice within the team. "It was the first time I had been injured like that and out for the rest of the season. It took a toll from a mental aspect," Blankenship said. "I felt helpless. Not being out there was tough. I felt like I couldn't speak my mind. I felt like I didn't have a voice anymore. It was like I was on the outside looking in and it was one of the toughest things I had experienced."

Of course, players don't generally lose their positions or stature within the framework of the team due to injury. Captains don't lose their influence so easily. "Reed is a captain and he felt like he needed to be out there with his teammates but he soon learned that being a captain isn't just what you do on the field," said Rick Stockstill, head coach of the Blue Raider football team. "He was named a captain because of the example he set on the field, off the field, in the locker room, the classroom. Just the way he leads in every area of his life." - Middle Tennessee Football
